Hello!
I was diagnosed with a Pilocytic astrocytoma in the brainstem at 3 years old in 2008. I have been battling cancer for 12 years!! I have had lots of chemotherapy, radiation, lots of pill taking, and surgeries. I just had neurosurgery in May 2020. I have been on chemo for the last 3 years, and just had shrinkage from my latest MRI scan. If you have any questions or would like to get to know me more, feel free to reach out! I am always looking for survivors or warriors to connect with!

Hello Ana! My name is Molly ( quirkygirl35) and I also had a brain tumor at a young age, I was 10 at the time though.
So did'nt they need to give you any radiation? Mine was also on my brain stem and I had radiation. This was all back in 1992 though so I don't know how much medical technology has advanced...
